Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Harper : )) 36 E55 vouchers I was making myself some hot coffee when Maddox was telling me about the travel arrangements. It only made me anticipate Friday even more. "You're seriously going to have that private jet ready for me?" I asked with raised eyebrows. "Yup, you'll be picked up from the airport and brought to me." I frowned. "Wait, I only get to see you when I arrive at your place?" "Exactly. I told you that you would have to obey if you want to know what really happened but hey, I know you already want to do as I say anyway." His voice was a little suggestive, making me subtly bite my lip like someone was going to see me, yet I was just in my kitchen. "Grayson was listening," he said. He must've mentioned it to see if I would be bothered. "Oh, he's already there?" I asked casually. "You knew he was coming?" "Well, yeah, but he told me not to say anything. It was a family intervention. So, did Tiffany make up?" you and Just mentioning her name reminded me of everything I had learned from my cousins. He sighed. "We're working on it. Looks like you're really good at keeping secrets." "Is this the part where you feel like telling me a few of your own?" I smirked. "Don't tempt me." He chuckled. "I have to go, but first, there's one other thing you need to do when you'll be coming here." "What's that?" I asked, stirring in the mug with a spoon. "You're going to wear my clothes." I paused, then burst into laughter. "You can't be serious." "My clothes and nothing else." Chapter 48 55 vouchers I furrowed my eyebrows when I realized he was being serious. "Wait, you really mean that?" "No." I could hear him smirk. "Just carry them with you, but I want to see you in the sexiest lingerie you can find. The bill is on me. Just so we're clear, you don't have to do all this." "Screw that." I leaned forward like I could see him, lightly stirring my coffee again. "Good, but that lingerie is for my eyes only." I scoffed. "What? You think I'll just leave the house in lingerie? I'll cover up with a trench coat." "I also want to see you in some sexy heels. Is that clear?" His voice was so low and commanding that I swallowed hard with excitement. "Yes. " "Good girl." And with that, he hung up on me. I closed my eyes and it took me a few seconds to even put the phone down. He was pretty clear about what he expected to see on Friday and I shook my head at how I wanted every part of it. I took my mug with me to the living room, my phone in my hand and as soon as I sat down, I received a text from Grayson. I shook my head before even reading it because it took him so long to reply. It was nothing new, yet it still bothered me. I was about to take a sip when I paused as soon as I opened our message thread. "Please don't tell me you're serious about coming to London on Friday." I set the mug down just so I could quickly reply, my lips pressed together as he always tried to stop me from doing the one thing that helped me not focus too much on him. "Out of 10, 10 is just how serious I am! Lol" He read my reply, but didn't text me back. I was used to the late replies, so I set my phone down and picked up my mug again. I was a few sips in when I received a call from Ella and I got a little excited. I hadn't been able to reach her and Zoey for hours. "How is it that I couldn't reach both of you at the same time?" I said as soon as I picked up. "Girl, that doesn't matter right now. We just read your message. What? Tiffany's cheating on 16:07 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 48 Grayson?" : "Give us the details!" Zoey demanded in the background. "You two are actually together? Are you with the Barclay twins?" "Give us the details first!" they said in unison. 36 55 vouchers I giggled. "Fine, I heard it from my cousins, but it's not yet been confirmed since Tracy didn't see Tiffany's face. The guy involved is Josh from the convenience store at the corner." Zoey gasped. "The handsome sales assistant?" "Yup! I only told the two of you that we went to the same high school, what I didn't tell you was that he was one of the nerdy kids, like me and not popular at all. Tiffany used to actually bully him a lot." "And now she's fucking him?" Ella chuckled in disbelief. "Now that's totally messed up! You should just straight up ask him!" "Well..." I hesitantly trailed off. "I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe I can just observe him after he leaves work in the evening and maybe, I'll spot him with Tiffany one of these days." "Don't you already have too many deadlines? You don't have the time for that with so much work," Zoey reminded me. "For Grayson, I'll do it." "Hmm, are you sure it's just for Grayson?" Ella asked. She was right to question my reasons and the truth was that I was also doing it for myself. Friday had my emotions all over the place because in just a few hours, I'd be on my way to London. Apart from that, I felt like the universe was finally on my side because I finally had solid and undeniable proof that would expose Tiffany. I'd only managed to see her with Josh the previous evening, which was why I'd barely slept all night, thinking about how long I would wait before telling Grayson about everything. Then, I thought fuck it. The sooner he knew the true character of the girl he'd married, the better. It was early in the morning, so for a start, I sent him a text. 16:07 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 48 "Hey, please call me as soon as you can." 36 E55 vouchers I sent the message and put the phone beside me, my heart already pounding hard. It only took about a minute for him to call me and I sat up quickly. "Hey!" I said with so much energy. "What's up?" he said in his morning voice, his tone a little flat. I frowned. "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, why?" "You just sound like-" "You asked me to call and I've done that, so what's up?" I pouted a little at how rude he was to me. Maybe he'd fought with Tiffany or something didn't go too well with one of the business deals he'd been working on. "Are you alone?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm downstairs." "I know this is short notice, but can you come over? There's something I need to show you. It's important." My voice sounded sharper than I intended. "Like... right now?" "As soon as you can." I firmly nodded like he could see me. "Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to London to the freaking playboy?" He said it with so much annoyance that I realized that's why he was rude to me. He still hated the idea of Maddox and I having a good time. "It's only morning and I don't have to leave right away," I said. "How soon can you get here?" "Give me an hour and Harp?" "Yeah?"
